It’s been a while since I’ve posted within these walls, and that of our sister site — Elite Socialistas! Things have been slowly falling into place and unfortunately it took my undivided attention. However, this is our 3rd year blogiversary — and I am still learning as we move forward. In my absence, I’ve taken a leap of faith and invested in Goddess Getaways — a travel and lifestyle boutique, where you can travel the world, while shopping through a few must-have essentials…the ultimate in travel and shopping.

Find happiness in Hawaii, follow the SPAtacular Ventures of an Elite Travelista as I share My Delaware, New York and Miami, and many more! Check out the chic exclusive  in beauty, fashion, spas, fitness, health, travel…you name it!!!

Many of the deals contained are by partnered brands, all personally selected as trusted brands — as my family and I use/shop these brands/vendors ourselves! Any commission received — 20% of all proceeds go to charity (Sapphire Kharyzma is a Global Team of 200 and Social Mom Blogger member).

I am also happy to report, that I am an official Travel & Cruise ambassador (agent). I absolutely love my job!! I get to travel the world for pennies (sometimes free) and get paid to do so!!!

There are links contained within this feature that were hand selected and relevant and may result in you shopping and saving — in fact, these awesome partners even offer perks for shopping at amazing savings! 20% of your FAB purchase helps charity.

Health and wellness is taking over (woo hoo) and it’s proving pretty easy to shop for natural, organic and chemical beauty products and fair trade, cruelty-free brands! According to statistics, “botanical beauty which consists of “botanicals or plants and plant parts that are valued for their medicinal or therapeutic properties, flavor, and/or scent.” In fact, some religious & science based enthusiasts argue that human beings were made to only eat fruits and vegetables. But I know I sure don’t mind. I use the earth, often scouring for the next great botanical that can enhance my mind, body and soul — skin and hair.

The earliest humans, including during the time of Christ — lived for hundredths of years. Their beauty and lifestyle regimens were literally rooted in the earth! And today, we Americans are also starting to be very concerned about what exactly is in our beauty products. And naturally, as our skin and hair demands this lifestyle change!

A recent Fox News article declares the following two Goddess-faves in skin care products as the top trending in botanical beauty:

  • philosophy — best known for their amazing skin care and botanical beauty products, fragrances, bath and body — all scientifically-proven and trust worthy ingredients, natural oil extracts and bottled blissdom!
  • LUSH Cosmetics — this brand is a fave amongst many botanical beauty mavens. “I absolutely love their henna brick bars, shampoo soaps and bath bombs. LUSH is an amazing beauty stop-shop!: — Sapphire Kharyzma.


A personal have of mine is The Body Shop. But you can also get great trusted brands at amazing value with Beauty Deals on Groupon and LivingSocial (psssst, I usually save up to 70% off with LivingSocial Escapes packages!)!

One of the best gifts to give for Mother’s Day, would have to be the gift of spa! For the past 2 months, I’ve been a devoted Groupon Goddess — checking out a few of their spa services offered. Let’s just say that it’s official…I am a massage junkie. It has to be the ultimate stress reliever and zen motivator ever!

Yes…jewelry, clothes, flowers, fruit, etc…are all great gifts, but let’s stop and think about it for a moment!!! Being a mom is a very demanding job. It can also rob you of some much needed (and often coveted) and quite valuable “YOU” time — a proven aspect of health and wellness.

Spas can guarantee you something that will appeal to your preference, while igniting the pleasure of your satisfaction. I’ve done reflexology, deep tissue massage, acupuncture, Swedish massage, European facial, just to name a few, and I can’t wait to try the rest! In fact, my bucket list is all about travel and spas. One of my favorite “go-to’s” in spa(taculars) is Spa Finder (I also love Spa Week, LivingSocial & Groupon). You can find out tons of related services in everything spa-related, including reviews about spa/services — including great discounts to some of the “world’s best in spa.”

Here are some last-minute savings that I know mom will love!!! Last Minute Gifts for Mom! Save 12% on all SpaFinder Wellness orders over $50! Also, send Mom some love! Buy one SpaFinder Wellness Gift Card worth at least $100, get the second one 20% off! Use MOMBOGO.
